I fully object to this project going forward as it already causes air and noise pollution, traffic and overcrowding to surrounding small towns which puts stress on local schools, doctor surgeries and hospitals. The government have already implemented huge restriction to transport pollution with ULEZ. Where are the restrictions and regulations on aviation pollution? Encouraging more aviation traffic with a second runway does not seem Justified. Planes pass my property up to every 2 minutes including through the night which on occasion the noise levels are so high they keep us awake.

Social interaction at home is effected as spending time in the garden is difficult due to conversation over the noise of planes every 2 minutes including talking on the telephone. Concentration is also difficult for the children when doing school homework as well as working from home.
